To Open and Close: A Combined Case of Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion and Pulmonary Vein Stenting
Left atrial appendage occlusion is an effective strategy to prevent thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation who are unable to tolerate anticoagulation. Symptomatic pulmonary vein stenosis is a known complication of atrial fibrillation ablation that can be treated with stenting. We present a case that combines these treatments into a single procedure, demonstrating its feasibility, safety, and effectiveness.
